Brought to me


 A rainbow bridge over unbridled sea,

A cry for life after hours of grief,

A cradle made by arms for thee:

All this, my wife did bring to me.

An acorn's promise to shade the tree,

Days of summer, exploring for free,

Wrapped in autumn's bounty: a single leaf:

All this, my daughter did bring to me.

Time to breathe in what i see,

Imagination: my realm while reaping sheaves,

A prayer to keep the flock with me:

All this, my parent did bring to me.

My head made of cookie,

A boat launched on laughter's sea,

To carry me ashore to great relief:

All this, my friend did bring to me.

No dual world can explain away how sorry

i was when i missed what they brought to me.
